2007 Mischief & Mayhem, St.Romain
This showed very well indeed when first bottled, but shortly afterwards (after I had bought!) it seemed a little sharp and sherbety – waiting 18 months has really paid dividend. Medium yellow colour. Hints of yellow fruit overlay a denser core of fruit too. In the mouth there is plenty of acidity but there is real balance here too – no sense of thin or sharp – with a slightly creamy impression in the mid-palate there now seems to be a little padding similar to an 08, but without that tropical element. Very decent length too. I think I’ll work my way through these during the heat (hopefully!) of the summer.
Rebuy – Yes
